Luxury Gourmet Breaks

Gourmet Cuisine and Cooking Classes
in the beautiful Loire Valley

Why not relax and be pampered by your own gourmet chef and personal butler?

Gourmet luxury breaks

You now have the opportunity to stimulate your tastebuds and revel in the stunning food cooked just for you by Chef de Cuisine Maynard Harvey. See more information about Maynard here

Parties of up to 8 people can enjoy four days of pampered luxury in an idyllic rural French farmhouse. Surrounded by a walnut grove, this beautiful property has high quality ensuite bedrooms, open log fire and tranquil grounds, perfect for a relaxing gourmet break.

From the minute you rise, to the time you go to bed you have your personal butler on call to make sure your every need is met. In the privacy of your own country retreat, you are able to sit down each evening, and indulge yourself with a six-course gourmet dinner, fine wine and intimate conversation with your friends or family. Using the finest ingredients we pride ourselves on creating light and balanced dishes full of distinct flavours with meticulous presentation.

Although this is a typical menu we are more than happy to plan each menu around your personal tastes. An evening menu might be:

 

Menu
Caramelised king scallop on a bed of cauliflower purée and truffle oil
~
Confit of duck and foie gras terrine with a fig and apple compote
~
Sorbet
~
Seared fillets of sea bass flavoured with black olive tappenade served with a roquette salad and a mediterranean vierge
~
Trio of sweets to include: Pear crème brulee, passion fruit delice and a praline chocolate box
~
Cheese
~
Coffee and truffles

 
 

Our location is just an hour and a half drive from St Malo port, making these breaks easily accessible for all. We also offer off-season weekend breaks and can extend our four-day breaks to suit our customers.

Champagne on ice!

We believe that Gourmet Breaks at the Walnut Grove are unique, because where else can you have a personal chef and butler at your disposal, all to yourself? For booking information click here.
